    Mark Kreidler: The sum of all fears

    Zipped Lips... And it's no coincidence the Kings front office won't give Kreidler or anyone else that asks information regarding ticket sales. It's a mystery the employees keep quiet, for anyone that asks. I tried by asking my previous ticket account manager (on two occasions) and was...

    Mark Kreidler: The sum of all fears

    One other quick note. The Rolling Stones are by-passing ARCO this year in favor of playing in Fresno.......if that's not a slap in the face I don't know what is...... Why? Because Fresno has a relatively new arena: The Save Mart Center. In addition, Mick Jagger knows the Arco Arena is old and...

    Kings FA Breakdown

    Excellent point, 6th. The reality is, the Kings (Geoff Petrie) will almost certainly be looking at these types of contracts. It's how they usually happen when you are including high-priced, All-Star-type players in a trade. It can be risky, but if it were to happen, the Kings would probably...

    Kings FA Breakdown

    The more I think about it... ... the more I think the Kings really do need a "Super Star". A Super Star player brings so much more to the table than selling tickets or putting up quality stats. It gives the rest of the team confidence. Players respond to leaders, both on the court and in the...

    Kings FA Breakdown

    Bibby is not safe, either... Good comments, but to be honest, I think Bibby would make outstanding trade bait. Don't get me wrong, Bibby is a good player to build a team around, but his value is at an all time high right now, and that opens a lot of office doors of other NBA GMs. Who knows...

    Kings FA Breakdown

    To clarify, Mobley does give the Kings full bird rights. This means that whatever happens, the Kings will AT A MINIMUM, get relief from the cap for Mobley's salary. However, if he walks, they get no S&T possibilities or a player to show for the relief under the cap. Darius has "Early Bird...

    Kings FA Breakdown

    I know this site has looked at the many possibilities the Kings face during the offseason, but here are a few of my thoughts about their current FA's. This is not a thread that suggests any "dream" signings or future FA's added to the team. It's purely a look at the current situation and my view...

    The ones who are left

    Apparently, a team can WIN 50 games and still be considered mediocre. This is gonna hurt, and hurt for a while...

    Mobley opts out

    Cat Haters Over-exaggerate Cuttino Mobley is a good player. I think he'd work out great for the Kings if he gets a full camp under his belt. He needs some time to fit in, somewhere other than regular season games. That's a lot to ask of any player. Just look at Chris Webber. Fitting in with a...

    Will Vlade be back?

    Why would you take up one of 12 roster spots for someone you know will not play? To motivate the other players? If that's how you motivate players on a team, there's something wrong with your system. Maybe there's something wrong with the Kings system? Maybe it's the players? It must be...

    Will Vlade be back?

    The only thing worse than having a beloved player retire or leave is having him come back as only a shadow of his former self. Poor Jerry Rice. The Denver Broncos?

    No King Exempt from a Trade

    What does race have to do about it. That comment is very offensive. Oh please, let's not play the "race" card. This is a basketball forum, not a white-supremist's web site. The only people seeing this as a racial comment are those that discriminate themselves. It's obvious nobody was trying...

    No King Exempt from a Trade

    They are ALL on the block... Every player on the Kings roster is expendable. In fact, I'd go as far as saying that Peja, Brad and Bibby should be the trade bait. They are good enough to build a team around, but let's face it, there are plenty of other players out there that are better than...

    Would Webber Have Made A Difference This Year In Playoffs???

    Here are the problems I have with the thought that having a superstar would propel this team over the top: 1) The Kings already have a steep payroll, coming in about $58 million. Bringing in a top tier player or "superstar" would almost certainly mean the team would have to give up too much to...

    "Four games don't make you an All-Star" - Mike Bibby

    Jerome is trying hard out there which can be more than said for what he did in the regular season. Can you say, $$$? James is nothing more than a ton of muscle and bones, with average skills. That explains why he did so well against the Kings front court! ;)

    Voisin: Kings have no answer for Ray Allen (merged)

    Sure, you aren't going to stop Allen or shut him down. But you can SLOW him a bit. You should at least be able to put enough pressure on him to where he won't score 45 on you! Evans may have been the best option for Adelman, but apparently Rick felt otherwise. I agree with those that suggest...

    Sorry Rick, its time for you to go!!

    It's All Webber's... err... Adelman's Fault! Here we go again, talk of firing the coach. What I struggle with are the posts that suggest Adelman looks lost and isn't coaching the team good enough! Of course he's lost! So am I. Just who are these guys on the court donning purple jerseys? They...

    "Spectacular" Kings announcers

    As far as House Party goes, I admit it's a lot better when Tank is on the show. I really like his perspectives. Are you being serious here? I think having that guy on an already bad show is a rotten combination. And while both Grant and Jerry are complete homers, 99% of the other announcers...

    Adelman Needs To Go!!!!

    Not to mention he's never really had a player that is strong in the defense or rebounding departments. Yeah, it's all his fault...
